CHICAGO, November 10.-When the news
of the Communication of the sentence Of
Fielden and Schwab was received at the
iall there was an extraordinary scene or
activity. The news was sent to the reia-
tives of all the condemned men, and in
short time they began to arrive at the Jail.
The first of the women to come was, Mrs.
Schwab. Soon after Schwab was brought
from his cell to the main Office. His wife
quickly advanced to him and, throw
ing her arms about his neck burst
INTO tears. Schwab returned the
embrace in calm manner and
soon the two were chatting quietly togeth-
er. After this Spies aud Fischer were
brought from their cells and taken to the
jail library. EDgel was brought to the pri-
vate Office OF Mr.. Folz. This was done for
the purpose of allowing the relatives to
take their last interviews. The first Of the
women to arrive after Mrs. Schwab was
Miss EDgel, the daughter of the condemned
Anarchist. When the two met in the pri-
yate Office there was an outburst OF grief
which it is impossible to describe. Father
and daughter chung to each other and Sob
bed convulsively. Their conversation was
in German and listened to only by Deputy
OleseD.
Then came Mrs. Spies, the mother OF
August. She had been waiting Outside
for an hour and half. Her sobs could
be heard through the corridors of the
building. she did not stay long in the
library with her slp, aod on her exit from
the Jail Mrs Fischer was admitted. She
went into the library and her lamentations
were heard above the tramp of the deDu-
ties who swarmed about the place. "a
the crOwning scene of all was the visit OF
Nina Van Zsndt, the proxy wife of Spies.
She was conducted to the library By
Deputy Oleson. As she walked through
the main Office she betrayed no emotion.
The moment at which she saw August.
however implicitly changed herdemeanor.
There YVES q look, then a gasp, and in q
trice the lovers were in each others arms.
A beYy of curious reporters and officers
| crowded up to the door of the library, bat
| 1t was quickly shut'by the deputy. Too
interview between the prisoner and his
faithful devotee lasted nearly half an
hour. W hat actually transpired will never
| be known to the world, but il was sufic-
lent to bring a glimmer OF tears 10 the eyes
| of the old deputy. In half an hour the
lovers had parted and the excitement of
| the entrance of Nina had passed.
At O'Clock there was an influx of dep
uty sheriffs to the jail. Men who had for
years been serving civil writs aud not
bothering their heads about haRgings,
came in. They all wore heavy overcoats
and in the right hand pockets OF these
were bulky objects, which to the eyes OF
the experienced, were plainly revolvers. Or
| ders were given forbidding the entrance OF
any one not conn ected with the press or the
sheriff 3 Office. Then some of the deputies
went to supper aud matters quieted down.
| A rumor was started to the effect Schwab
snd Fielden would be..cemoved to Joliet ct
| $50 O'Clock, bat Jailer Folz declar d he
had no orders to that effect.
